Cath Kidston Ltd was founded in 1993 when designer Cath Kidston opened a tiny shop in London’s Holland Park. She began by selling the vintage fabrics, wallpapers and brightly-painted junk furniture she remembered fondly from her childhood. Her clever, witty re-working of traditional English country house style meant that her shop soon became a cult success.

Cath Kidston is best known for her vintage inspired prints for the home. Cath Kidston Ltd. is one of the few truly original companies to come out of the home market in the last ten years, kick-starting the current trend for vintage chic.
